I have it installed, but I don't play around with it too much. That would involve me rebooting Linux, after all! 8-) > I wonder if it is easy to install especially on a PC with Win98 and > linux already running? I never had a problem installing it, but I didn't want it running subordinate to any other OS, so when I got my new box, I knew that I wanted to tri-boot Win98 (games), BeOS (just cause), Linux (everything else). So I installed Win98 into it's partition, downloaded/installed FreeBeOS, and then using FreeBeOS, installed BeOS onto It's partition, and made a boot-disk for it. If you're curious: Win98: hda1 1.5GB BeOS: hda2 1.5GB Debian /: hda3 500MB Debian swap: hda5 128MB Debian /usr: hda6 ~2.5GB > From there web page and some other documentation, I have the impression > they have a very good bootmanager. Their boot manager is the one that I use, and it's very sexy. I don't do anything fancy with it, just pick from the 3 OSes, but it's easy to use, clean, fast, and hasn't failed me yet. What more could you ask for? I've got it set to a 5 second delay, with primary boot being Linux. HTH. Adam
